(4)In the natural environment
(5)In space or anywhere elseYou are divided into groups of four to design your robot. You can follow the steps as below:1.Decide the purpose of the robot.
2. Make a list of the abilities the robot has.
3.Draw a picture on a piece of paper and name its parts and explain what each part does.
4.Write a paragraph describing the robot and what it can do.
5. Introduce your design to your classmates. spidersnakemantis 螳螂Tips on designing your robots:Consider the six major robot characteristics:Looks: What does the robot look like? Is there a reason for it to look as it does?
Sensing: How does the robot “know” or figure out what’s in its environment?3. Movement: How does the robot move?
4.Operation(操作): How does the robot move or operate other objects ?
5.Energy: How is the robot powered?
Can it have more than one energy source?

5. Introduce your design to your classmates. What have we learned from this unit?Read in chorus for fun?My Robot Does My Homework
My robot does my homework.
He helps me every night.
The trouble is he doesn't get
too many answers right.
He'd probably do better
at homework but, you see,
I built him, so he only knows
the things he learned from me.

3. Watch a movie with a robot in it, “I, Robot” , for example within 4 days.HomeworkA sample writing:The rubbish collectorThe rubbish collector is a robot about half the size of a small car. Its body is square and contains a large rubbish bin inside it. It has a camera attached to the top front of its body. Also at the front is a pair of arms. Underneath it has four wheels and six legs. With the camera it can “see” rubbish such as paper, glass, and plastic. If the surface of the ground is smooth, it runs on its wheels, and if the ground is rough, it unfolds its legs and walks.When it sees a piece of rubbish, it stops and uses its arms to pick it up and put it in its rubbish bin. However, when it sees a person, an animal or a plant, it goes around it as it is able to recognize when something is not a piece of rubbish.The company should make this robot as it would be very popular with schools. It would clean the outside grounds of the school and so give the students more time to spend on their studies. It would also be a great advantage to have at sports grounds or any other area where rubbish is dropped by the public.
